Hard on the Counsel.

The following experience of Missis.
sippi lawyer was related by himself to
the writer many years ago. He said:
II was defending prisoner for
horse.stealing, and seeing no other
means of defending him, under the
circumstances, I set up the plea of in.
sanity. argued it at length, read
many extracts from WORKS on medi-
cal Jurisprudence, and had the patient
attention of the court. The prose-
cutting attorney did not attempt to
reply to my argument or con-
trovert my authorities; seemed to
have things my own way, and whisper.
ed to the prisoner that he needn't be
uneasy. Then came the Judges
charge, in which he reminded the jury
that there was no dispute between
counsel as to the facts of the case.
Indeed, there could not have been,
for several witnesses had sworn
positively that they saw my client
steal the horse. But concluded the
court, the plea of insanity has been
set up, and / charge you, gentleman
of the jury, that it should receive
your very grave and serious deliberar
ton; but must be allowed to say,
gentlemen, that for myself, upon q re.
view of the whole case, can discov.
or no evidence Of insanity on the part
OF the prisoner, except perhaps, in the
selection of his counsel "-Ediror's
